What is a Dyad Meeting?
Dyad Meetings are generally conducted by a moderator with 2 participants. The participants will either come as a pair who know each other, or strangers who have never met. This will depend on the type of study the researcher is conducting and the outcome desired.
You would want to conduct a dyad interview with a pair who know each other, when you want them to have a similar opinion.
Example - two employees who work together, parent and child, siblings, etc.
On the other hand - you would want to conduct dyad interviews with two strangers when you want them to have a conflicting opinion.
Example - lapsers and frequent consumers, politicians, and consumers who are loyalists of competing brands.
Using Decode’s Dyad Meeting Template, you can:
- Conduct in-depth interviews
